I have worked for Nike for about 40% of my life. A while.. Yes, the culture and company has changed, but so has the world. Nike was number 1 when I started out, but has since grown into the extreme powerhouse it is today, light years ahead of its competition with regards to innovation etc.
Yes, I have had my fair share of questionable managers, clearly more interested in the color of their next Porsche than in my commitment to the brand... but that is fine. There is a lot of internal competition. People are hungry to succeed. It is surely no different in other similarly sized industry-leading companies.
On the flip side, I have also traveled the world (in the forward cabin), gained some sensational experiences and memories, and met many(!) truly incredible people along the way.
I will be truly saddened if this is the end...
